Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • stand mixer
  • whisk attachment
  • Paddle Attachment
  • pastry bag
  • zester
  • 8-inch square dish

Ingredients
  

Raspberry Syrup

  • 4 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Mascarpone Filling

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup raspberry syrup from recipe above
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

For Assembly

  • 1 package Savoiardi ladyfingers (7 oz, about 24)
  • 1 ounce good-quality white chocolate (I used Lindt)

Instructions
 

Make the Raspberry Syrup

  • Place raspberries and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a potato masher or a fork, crush the berries. Bring the berries to a simmer, then lower temperature to medium-low and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and pour berries into a fine-mesh strainer set over a glass measuring cup. Using the back of a ladle or spoon, press on the berries to squeeze out as much juice as possible. Discard seeds.
  • Return raspberry juices to the pan, then add the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 4-5 minutes until mixture reduces slightly. Remove from heat and chill in refrigerator to cool completely.

Make the Filling

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a separate bowl, return bowl to the mixer, and replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment.
  • To the mixer, add the mascarpone cheese, sugar, ¾ cup of the raspberry syrup, and vanilla. Beat on high until combined. Add about a cup of the whipped cream and continue beating until incorporated. Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream.

Assemble Tiramisu

  • One at a time, dip the ladyfingers in the raspberry syrup until soaked but not soggy; arrange in an even layer along the bottom of an 8-inch square dish. Spread half of the the mascarpone filling on top of the ladyfingers.
  • Using a zester, microplane, or cheese grater, grate half of the white chocolate evenly on top. Place another layer of raspberry syrup-soaked ladyfingers on top of the filling.
  • Spread half of the remaining filling on top of the ladyfingers. Transfer remaining filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip, and pipe the filling evenly over the tiramisu. Grate the rest of the white chocolate on top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

You should end up with about 2 cups raspberry syrup. Since there will be a little leftover syrup, you can sprinkle 1-2 Tablespoons extra syrup on top of the already-soaked ladyfingers to infuse them with more of that wonderful raspberry flavor! Depending on the size of your ladyfingers, you might have to cut them. I suggest cutting them AFTER they’ve been dipped in the syrup since they soften and become easier to cut without breaking.
